Rathfinny Estate Blanc de Noirs 2015 Sparkling Wine 150cl
Rathfinny Estate Blanc de Noirs 2015 Sparkling Wine Magnum 150cl is created using 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Pinot Meunier grapes, hand-harvested from the Rathfinny Wine Estate in East Sussex. This is the first vintage of their premium Pinot Noir/Pinot Meunier blend and has aged on the lees for 36 months.
The Rathfinny estate is the perfect site for growing sparkling wine grapes with thin, clay loam soils over chalk creating great sources of water for the vines and the semi-continental climate of the region being very similar to that of Champagne, France.

"Spring arrived late in 2015 after a cold winter, both budburst and flowering were a week later than 2014, but we had a reasonable flowering and a warm summer which helped ripen a small crop. We began harvest on the 19th October and despite the rainfall in August and September the fruit was very clean and of good quality."
Floral peony notes on the nose marry with wild strawberries followed by a palate of rich raspberry mousse, caramelised apples and toasted almonds.
Pairs perfectly with delicate seafood dishes such as spiced crab cakes or with something heavier and richer such as slow-cooked lamb.
